St Francis' School Outing

Arranged as usual with great completeness by the Sisters, the boys at St Francis' School had their annual outing on Wednesday in last week.

About 40 boys and the Catholic children of the town had an enjoyable drive round in two charabancs to Royston. Luncheon on Royston Heath proved a great enjoyment, as also did a capital meat tea served in the afternoon.

One of the events of the outing was a cricket match between the school's two teams, captained respectively by a boy from Halifax and one from Cardiff, by which names the teams are known. Mr E.J. Sparkes rendered very welcome aid on the Heath and added to general enjoyment.

The party arrived home soon after 9 p.m. highly delighted with their pleasant outing, and full of gratitude to the Sisters.
